Cracks, potholes, and additional concrete driveway damage can ruin tire tread, cause property flooding, and result in further problems. That’s why the team at Bellis’ Concrete Construction in Cookeville, TN, believes you shouldn’t ignore the signs it’s time to repave the worn surface. Their knowledge comes from experience providing concrete installation services for a range of applications. 

Below, they share three signs it’s time to repave your concrete driveway:

• Craters: Large holes in your concrete driveway will only get worse if left unattended. Rain, snow, and excessive heat cause the surface to expand and contract, creating even bigger craters. Driving over the holes can damage your car, and accidentally tripping over the gaps could result in a visit to the hospital. 
• Hairline Cracks: Your concrete driveway is bound to experience wear and tear over time. If you see multiple hairlines cracks and small holes in the ground, it’s time to worry. In extremely damp or dry conditions, these tiny fissures can multiply or become larger. Repaving will seal deep scratches before their next growth spurt. 
• Age: Is your driveway getting old? If so, repaving might be a good idea. Concrete driveways can withstand the elements, vehicle weight, and daily foot traffic for approximately 30 years. After that, the foundation will start to break down. The crumbling concrete will bring down your property’s curb appeal and value. It could also damage any septic equipment and utility lines under your yard, creating a new list of needed repairs.
